safety interlock...047@600volts..on the variac on the first power up it shows a huge current drawon the Amp gauge..I then use my 3way Dim-bulb tester with all of the tubes pulled and the CRT unplugged also..bulb does'nt light...while on the variac brush starts to arc..i shut her down instantly.i tested the set on the Dim-bulb alone to test for a short in the Primary...no problem there...double checked all connections with the schematic to make sure i didn't mess up on that end...what gives
check resistance at the plug
